 Some spring fungi from Cincinnati

Well, I went out to check some places for Ovoids but alas everything is still underneath knee-high water so I left (had to sneak in to this spot heheh). So i went to another park that's not a good place for oviods but is good for lots of other stuff. I thought you guys might like some pictures. Some are better than others.
Pleurotus ostreatus - These are everywhere in Cincinnati pretty much from spring to fall. Very common.
 
Pholiota squarrosa These are also pretty common in the spring and fall, but not the summer (at least from what I've seen).
This is the first one I've found this year.
Galerina marginata These are also very common around here. I've noticed that they can vary quite a bit in macroscopic features so for all you starting out looking for woodloving Psilocybe's be careful because there is no doubt these can and will grow side by side with them.
 
These I'm not 100% sure about. I've just started finding them this year. I believe they are Crepidotus applanatus. Anyone disagree?
  
Tremella mesenterica Common in the spring.
 
Ganoderma applanatum
 
This is something I've never found before. I don't know what it is.
Any guesses? Edit - Phyllotopsis nidulans (thanks Joie  )
  
I believe this is Arcyria denudata.
Coprinus disseminatus, I think.
Mycena leaiana. It don't get more common this this species, it dominates the woods around here. These are the first I've seen in the spring though.
 
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy these and I'll be posting more all year.
Happy hunting!

Nice post. I won't venture a species but sure Crepidotus and your orange hairy thing puts me in mind of Phyllotopsis nidulans.

Thanks everyone.  It seems you guys didn't notice that my guess for the first unknown was Crepidotus applanatus, I feel like that's correct or at least correct enough to satisfy my curiosity.
Joie, I think you are right because they definitely had that weird white fuzz at the base where they attached to the wood. Good call.
Thinking I might hit up another park before the sun sets and see what else I can find. I'll post anything cool in this thread if I end up going out.

(I didn't miss your ID, just confirming it must be a Crepidotus, and your IDs are great so you are probably right.)

Ahh, thanks man.  I feel like I'm improving on my IDs, much better than when I started a couple years ago. I don't seem to forget any that I learn so now it seems I recognize more than I don't when I go hunting.
I love mushrooms.

Haha, well I'm sure overall I'm still wayyyy behind you Bob!
Went back and took a different trail, found a few more things.
This I'm stumped on. There were some G. marginata further down on the same log but these looked too big to be Galerina. I wonder if they could be some kind of Gymnopilus species? Spores were a rusty orange color but were not plentiful like I would think most gyms would produce. I didn't collect any because most were too far gone and it was getting dark. If needed I can go back tomorrow and collect a couple specimens.
     
Then I found everyone's favorite mushroom 
Coprinus micaceus
Lastly a huge Polyporus squamosus. (iPhone 3GS to show scale)
Thanks for all the kind comments. I may make this my official 2011 thread just so I don't clutter up the forum.
Any thoughts on the mystery mushrooms?

Great thread amilibertine

Thanks for posting your finds here, I have found the shots useful. (And that reminds me I should really post something in the next day or two.)

Can G. marginata grow to this size? The bigger caps are 5-7 cm in diameter? Edit: so apparently they can grow to this size, but are rare found growing in clusters like these. Interesting.

I'm gonna go out today in search of some morels Hopefully I'll find some, I never have hunting for them in cincinnati but apparently this has been a great year for them, unlike last year where we had no rain all year.
